Provo City Half Marathon

 Saturday we ran the Provo City Half Marathon.  This is my first race since my surgery.  My nose and sinuses worked great, the course was awesome, the weather perfect....I'm having a hard time coming up with an excuse as to why my time was slow....maybe because I'm old and slow?  Yep, I'll use that as my excuse!

 Here is our traditional picture with our race shirts and finisher medals.

Dex has been staying with us since Thursday.  We are having a blast with him!  Not sure we are going to be willing to give him back to Mike and Manda when they get home!

Krista's surprise

Krista surprised Dexter with this guitar.  It's just his size, almost.  He would strum it and sing "Twinkle, twinkle little star".  I have a feeling he is going to be good at this!  Thanks Krista!!!

Appropriate for a birthday post?

Subject: tSecret to a Long Life

Bless her little heart.....How sweet......... The secret to long life... A doctor on his morning walk, noticed the old lady pictured above. She was sitting  on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?" "I smoke ten cigars a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, have sex, and I don't exercise at all."       "That is absolutely amazing!  How old are you?" "Forty," she replied.

The best part of birthdays...

The best part of birthdays in the Ellis family, is Birthday Dinner at Grandma's!

Dex was so excited when Caitlyn showed up!  Everyone should have an Aunt Caitlyn, she's the best!

Happy Birthday Deaner

Cristian

Cristian, my nephew, and Julie, my sister-in-law are staying at our house for a few days.  Cristian asked me if I would take some mission pictures for him.

We are going to take graduation pictures tomorrow!
